New Collection - Woodland Walk
Immerse yourself in the English countryside with Madeaux’s latest collection of fabrics and wallcoverings: Woodland Walk.
It is a translation of Richard Smith’s nature inspired paintings and sketches, celebrating the colours, fauna and flora of the countryside. In addition to seven brand new designs, we introduce updated colourways and wallpaper translations of classic Madeaux prints, including fresh new colours of ‘Aviary’, a grasscloth rendition of ‘Ziggery’, and two updated neutrals of Madeaux’s classic stripe ‘Audrey Grasscloth’.
WHY WE LOVE THIS
Horizontal paths of trees work across this green-toned design inspired by Richard Smith’s love of English woodlands. Printed here on a metallic grasscloth as a grander alternative to the smaller scale “Woodland Walk”, the textured substrate brings gravitas to the large scale of the design, the painterly rendering of the trees adds a further layer of interest.
01 Pine
WHY WE LOVE THIS
A smaller scale alternative to ‘Sylvan Grasscloth‘ inspired by trees in Richard Smith’s local countryside. Printed here on paper with a strié ground to add a texture to the design, creating a gorgeous backdrop for layering or a standout pattern on its own.
01 Spring
WHY WE LOVE THIS
A hand painted modern take on a moiré, combining a vertical strié that evokes the woodgrain of a tree. The grasscloth ground brings the motif up to date to offer a modern feel to a classic design, available in five inspiring colourways.
01 Bone
02 Flax
03 Sea Breeze
04 Jade
05 Old Gold
WHY WE LOVE THIS
Inspired by an Indian wall painting of stylised flowers, Richard Smith painted the floral bouquets of Poppyfield with an antiqued effect to form a softer, organic rendition of the inspiration. With its clever step repeat, the motifs form a natural rhythm as they fall across the design – available in classic Paprika tones with green and a soft Pale Ocean.
01 Pale Ocean
02 Paprika
WHY WE LOVE THIS
A grasscloth wallcovering rendition of our luxurious wool-rich paisley inspired by a nineteenth century document typical of the jacquard woven shawls made in Scotland in the second half of the nineteenth century. We love the combination of colours across the three wallcoverings – Moonstone, Sandstone and Amethyst.
01 Moonstone
02 Sandstone
03 Amethyst
WHY WE LOVE THIS
A refreshingly modern take on a scrolling design motif, Tempest is the ideal wallpaper for use as a background – the colour shading from the original watercolour artwork has been accentuated to create the perfect colour carrier and the movement within the organic shapes would add a soft element to an interior space.
01 Ivory
02 Sand
03 Lagoon
WHY WE LOVE THIS
Painted from the stripes of our popular wool fabric, Jajim, a colourful horizontal weave inspired by traditional Persian rugs. We have updated the layout and spacing as a striped grasscloth offered in two sumptuous colourways. The stripes run vertically in this wallcovering adaptation creating the perfect backdrop for layering in a chic and sophisticated scheme.
01 Seacloud
01 Sienna
WHY WE LOVE THIS
A classic paint effect emulating the grain of wooden panelling is combined with a trellis pattern of stencilled stars in Starboard. The strié textured background adds an almost three-dimensional effect to the pattern and gives the design a rustic charm.
01 Driftwood
02 Seaglass
03 Denim
WHY WE LOVE THIS
Taking its form from a classic gothic arch, the motifs of Ogive fall into an easy and classic repeat. The water colour rendering of the artwork brings extra interest to this simple and airy design on a grasscloth ground.
01 Limestone
02 Seacloud
03 Clay
WHY WE LOVE THIS
A paired back painterly check offering a textured effect in this deceptively complex, yet usable design. Inspired by the fresco technique of painting on wet plaster where colour pigment is absorbed into the surface of the wall to give an ethereal effect. We have replicated this look here, adding fine lines of an unexpected colour to keep it fresh.
01 Putty
02 Seacloud
03 Sienna
WHY WE LOVE THIS
This grasscloth wallcovering is a stand out horizontal zigzag taken from our much loved Ziggery fabric. Originally drawn from seventeenth century flame stitch documents, despite its classic European inspiration the design motif also recalls the look of a hand crafted ikat from south east Asia.
03 Taupe and Teal
05 Umber
WHY WE LOVE THIS
A wallpaper version of our Harebell fabric, showing a stylised rendering of an espaliered shrub climbing a wall. The design was informed by the cluster of small bell-shaped flowers of the Scottish bluebell. We love how the wallpaper adaptation showcases the watercolour artwork with its twist of shade within the two colourways.
02 Blue Grass
03 Willow
11 Ecru
12 Sand
WHY WE LOVE THIS
Our popular Aviary design has been reimagined in two refreshing colourways: ‘Green’, an uplifting take on this classic, with its combination of cool greys, variety of greens and a flash of golden yellow, and ‘Earth Tones’, inspired by the rich earthy tones used across our SS25 Glencoe collection, to bring to mind the landscape and flora of the Scottish moors.
07 Green
08 Earth Tones
WHY WE LOVE THIS
A beautifully soft fabric with spectacular performance to bring depth and texture to any piece of upholstery. The look and feel of the bouclé yarn contrasts with the colour of the background warp in a most unusual and usable way.
01 Ecru
02 Pebble
03 Marmalade
04 Mallard WHY WE LOVE THIS
